Tabs shows her alpha-ness
Ever since the vet told me Tabs is on heat, and being a young kitten, she can come on heat every two weeks (!), we’ve been keeping her confined in the house until she can be spayed as there are tomcats around the area. And Tabs is NOT happy! It’s ironical that a few days…

A new litter-box for Tabs
I went out to buy a new litter-box for Tabs since she is already litter-box trained. The one I have is rather small. That’s Tiger (not Tabs) looking at the new litter-box. Everyone is welcome to use it. When I move, I have two big jobs – confining the cats and re-training them to use…

39.3 and going down, I hope (Indy’s temperature)
This evening, Indy went for his jab again and with bated breath, we took his temperature. 39.3 degrees! Still considered low-grade fever, but it looks like his temperature is going down – Hooray!! The hypothesis now is Indy may have contracted toxoplasmosis but his body weathered the storm and now, he is on the road…

Bunny and Tabs go to the vet’s
I’m really becoming a permanent feature at the vet’s these days, aren’t I? So, Bunny and Tabs went to the vet’s. Bunny with his non-stop orchestra, and Tabs, would you know it, was feverishly scratching at the carrier latch to let herself out. Poor thing… Bunny, complaining all the way. Tabs, determined to get out.…

Tabs doesn’t belong to the new neighbour
I finally plucked up courage to go over to the neighbour’s to enquire about Tabs. “Courage” as in being emotionally prepared to accept what they say and make a decision. I’ve been so busy and anxious over Indy and Bunny I wasn’t ready to take on Tabs’ case yet. But today, I went over and…

Bunny and Indy’s acupuncture session
Dr Susanna arrived at my house on the dot and was welcomed by Tabs! Tabs was a most gracious host, you’d almost think she’s been properly groomed at finishing school. Dr Susanna immediately said Tabs has some British Shorthair or European Shorthair in her. She’s partly purebred – it shows on the roundness of her…

The storm is not over yet for Indy
So off we went, Indy and I, on our twice-daily pilgrimage to the vet’s for Indy’s Trixone jabs. I had earlier texted the vet with the good news that Indy is eating on his own already and he did pee and poo. Indy wanted to come out and explore the clinic. The injection was given…

Bunny limps…
Gosh, could it be the calicivirus? Bunny went out this morning, after breakfast and I later found him under a car. With Bunny, it may be easier as he loves food. So, I brought some Fussie Cat out and put it next to him (he was within reach, but he’s so heavy, I don’t think…

Indy eats on his own!!!
Indy slept on our bed all of last night. I woke up a few times throughout the night to check on him and his body did not feel overly warm. I was worried the fever would escalate in the night. This morning I woke to find him walking around the room, as though waiting for…
